Assistant Professor, Communication Design, Elon University
Shannon Zenner is an assistant professor of Communication Design at Elon University, where she teaches courses in UX, graphic design, art direction, and web/mobile publishing. Her research explores how visual design, politics, and AI shape public perception, and she presents nationally on typography, creativity, and emerging technologies. With a background in advertising and a Ph.D. from UNC-Chapel Hill, she blends improvisational techniques and tech tools to help students and professionals embrace uncertainty as a creative asset. A proud Texan, she also believes proper nachos require individual chip architecture, with beans, cheese, and a single pickled jalapeño per chip.
